Required Reading: EMS Dirty Secret

[paramedicmike]

I was disappointed in the article. It started with such great promise and potential only to end up sidetracked, minimized and pointless.

How does one go from trying to identify and address problems in EMS and wind up by saying, essentially, "pace yourself and don't burn out"?

Yet another disappointment in a seemingly never ending string of disappointments.

Time for stress relief. I'm going out to run.

I don't know Thom any better than any other EMS writer, but I would guess you can't be to heavy-handed if you want to have another article published next week. Especially with the number of volunteers that read Jems.

The article reminded me of the theory of motivation by inactivity. The idea is that you motivate other people to perform an action by sandbaging your own attempt. I'm not saying that this was the intent, but it just seemed simmilar.
